Zatanna: The Jewel of Gravesend by Alys Arden
mysterious
medium-paced
3.0
A really fun, quick dive into a world that blends superheroes with Houdini-esque magic.
This graphic novel has a great artistic vibe, with a wonderful colour palette. It depicts the hustle of Coney Island, from its theme park rides to the dingey little psychic shops, seamlessly blending the location into the story itself.
This is a great pick for readers who aren't familiar with the DC Universe - I jumped into the graphic with no previous knowledge of Zantanna's character and it didn't hinder the reading experience in the slightest. Overall, The Jewel of Gravesend is a fun and well-paced graphic for anyone who is intrigued by the art and synopsis.
